I think PAKFA has shown everything it has got, now Russia should show some confidence in the platform and buy these machines so that IAF could respond to that. FGFA now looks dead, as HAL is not workshare it wanted and Russia is also not ready to share some of the critical technology. For me...

India is already committed to FGFA deal, we can't back out, we can only improve the product from now onwards according to our doctrine. We can collaborate with Japan for AMCA but that is completely different matter.

HAL personnel always looks very optimistic about getting orders after all it keeps their ship sailing, typical PSU babus. There is a big silence at the moment in this project and I hope it is a sign of a tornado to come. I am expecting some big news at least withing 4-5 months, also can't rule...

So Modi & Putin met, they both even hugged, but nothing new on FGFA deal. Hmnn. Looks like Russia is not ready to change its mentality of ToT and Indian Baniya as always tough on negotiations.

Nothing concrete will happen with deal, bcoz we'll hear similar news in december as well. I can sense that the deal is going nowhere, as there hardly hardly progress made on engine and radar side, plus there is still no clearity on HAL's contribution.

So when will this 8 years will start, or it has already started ? Plus I think 1st prototype of FGFA is at least 5-6 years back.

Any news on the 1st prototype of FGFA, or we'll have to be content with the news about PAKFA's new pics in media. Are we actually playing a role of partner or just a buyer ?
